iPhone & iPad · Quote keeper

A private library for the lines worth keeping.

You just read a line that stopped you. Right now it's headed for a screenshot you'll never find. Passage keeps it instead, wherever it came from: books, movies, podcasts, songs, or something a friend said.

The Passage app on an iPhone, showing the Library screen: a search box, a Passage of the Day card with a line from Seneca, filter chips, and a list of saved quotes from Thoreau and Marcus Aurelius, each with its author and source.

How it works

Capture it in seconds.

Speak the quote while the book is still open and watch it become text, right on your device. Scan the page with your camera and tap the lines you want. Paste from any app and Passage separates the quote from its author and source on its own. Or just type.

Nothing is required except the words. The author, source, page, labels, and note are all optional, and when you're deep in one book, Passage keeps the source filled in so you never retype it.

What you get

Save the line, and why it mattered.

Four ways to capture

Speak it, scan the page with the camera and tap the lines, paste from any app, or type it. Every method is in the free tier.

Keep the why

Along with every quote: the author and source, the page, your labels, and a note about why it mattered or where you found it.

Find it again

Search every word you've saved, filter by label, or browse by book, author, and film. The line from two summers ago is back in seconds.

Meet your lines again

A widget puts one of your saved quotes on your home screen each day. Your own library coming back to you, not a stranger's motivation feed.

Why it's different

Your library, not a feed.

Passage has no social side. There is no one to follow, no one following you, and nothing to post. What comes back to you each day is a line you chose to keep, in the words you saved it in.

All of the work happens on your iPhone or iPad. Voice and scan recognition run on the device, so a quote never needs a connection and never goes to a server of ours.

Privacy

Nothing leaves your device.

There is no account to make and no server holding your quotes. They live in a store on your device, and you can take them out as a CSV file whenever you want. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected," because there is nothing to collect.
